Mr. Speaker, the leader of the Liberal Party has withheld for weeks that one of his senators, Senator Merchant, has millions of dollars in an offshore account. He still has not addressed the matter.
Clearly the Liberal leader is in over his head when it comes to tackling the Senate problems. In fact, he came out over the weekend saying he believes that the Senate should not change at all because as it stands now it benefits Quebec.
He also made it clear, time and time again, that he thinks some Canadians are better than others. Those who speak just one of our national languages, he called “lazy”. He says our country is better served when Quebeckers are in charge than Albertans. He even says he would separate our great nation if given the chance.
However, Canadians will not give him the chance to divide and destroy Canada's national interests. Canadians know it is our Conservative government that will defend the interests of all Canadians at home and abroad no matter what part of the country they are from.
The leader of the Liberal Party is in over his head when it comes to understanding the Senate and Canada's national interests.
